An off grid battery bank needs to be sized thusly, for longest life:
Total daily load: KW _______ 4KW
Daily load should only deplete the bank by 20%, the bank should be 18KW in size
The deeper you discharge, the fewer cycles the batteries have.
Recharge needs to be done ASAP when the battery gets below 70% full (30% discharge), or the lead sulphate crystals harden and don't re-dissolve, reducing capacity. (sulphated battery)
